But I saw another bug that I hadn't noticed before.

Yep, it's a ladybug larvae - and I saw lots of them. You wonderful gardeners out there are chuckling at my obtuseness, but now I know those are what I want to see in the garden!
And today I saw several of the next phase in the ladybug life cycle: the pupa. Soon another generation of ladybugs will be helping me keep my roses healthy!

Nature is such a wonderful thing.
Now I learned something, too.
Ladybugs are always welcome in my garden!! Something has eaten some of my dahlias and a new lilly. I use sluggo so I doubt the bad guy is a slug!
